and roughly how fast would it reach that sort of size

Depends on conditions: feeding, water changes, tank size and even tankmates

Looks like yours needs to be fed more, his belly seems to be a bit sunken in. As for growth rate, in optimal conditions, I'd say it should take around 2.5-3 years to get one to 24" (it also depends on genetics, though).
